Why Visit a Manual Osteopathic Practitioner?

The treatment is based on the philosophy that the body’s systems are interconnected, with dysfunction in one system potentially affecting others. Manual osteopathic practitioners take a holistic approach, considering the patient as a whole, including lifestyle, environment, mental health, and physical health.

Treatment Process

Duration: 60 minutes
Recovery: Minimal. The best way to integrate our treatments is to keep moving and continue with your day-to-day life.

  • Myofascial release
  • Cranio-sacral osteopathy
  • Osteo-articular adjustments
  • Visceral osteopathy
  • Muscle energy techniques

We direct bill most insurance providers.
